Effective immediately we will be deleting, without notice, any negative threads or posts that deal with the use of encryption and streaming of scanner audio.

We've noticed a huge increase in rants and negative posts that revolve around agencies going to encryption due to the broadcasting of scanner audio on the internet. It's now worn out and continues to be the same recycled rants. These rants hijack the threads and derail the conversation. They no longer have a place anywhere on this forum other than in the designated threads in the Rants forum in the Tavern.

If you violate these guidelines your post will be deleted without notice and an infraction will be issued. We are not against discussion of this issue. You just need to do it in the right place. For example:

Tried with no luck,
Infrastructure mode: 192.168.2.105 (local ip scanner), ping response from scanner to android device, but Siren only try to connect.
RH-536HP_mkII in a pc in same network can connect to scanner. Tried only one device at same time

Yahoo! Siren for Android is finally here. Pop open that bottle of champagne you've had on ice since spring 2014.

Like others have experienced, I too cannot get Siren to connect to my BCD536HP. I have Wifi dongle v7.28 and am running scanner version v1.10.02. Running Siren on a Motorola X (1st gen) Android version 5.1.

I have noticed that if I run the original Uniden RH-536HP mkII software on my Win7 laptop it connects just fine. I have also noticed that the mkII software kind of stops and jerks along if I also try to connect via Siren so it appears the Android app is doing something.

I don't quite understand why the Siren app needs Identity permission. Perhaps Uniden can clue us in on that.

I'm hopeful that Uniden will sort this out and post instructions or an updated Siren version soon.

I uninstalled version 1.0 app from earlier, reinstalled new version now (Play Store) and all is working now! Change your search when you look for it so it doesn't bring up the old version. I found it by just entering "uniden" and then scrolled to find it. Works great! Very responsive and sound through the phone as well.

Now if this can be used as Direct Access Point rather than IP over the wifi network then it would be great in a vehicle. Much better display and the scanner can be remote located. If anyone is using it that way please advise.

I have it set up in infrastructure mode through my router and it works very well. I want to run this in my truck, which I think requires access mode. Only I can't get a connection in AP mode. I put in the IP address, but get a "no scanner found at that address" error message.

Has anyone succeeded with AP mode?

Much better display. At first I didn't think that Siren showed trunk site information, but it does. That's one thing that I really liked better about the 436 display.
